Meet Ashley Jangro
Therapist. Life Coach. Mom of Six.
Someone who truly gets emotional overload, because I've lived it, studied it, and helped others through it.
Hi, I'm Ashley Jangro, therapist, certified life coach, and mom in a blended family with six kids. If you're here, you or someone you love might be stuck in a cycle of stress, reactivity, or exhaustion. Maybe you're snapping when you don't want to. Maybe you're withdrawing or trying to numb it all just to make it through the day.
More than talk therapy - practical tools that work from your very first session.
Whether you're ready to quiet the anxiety, heal from the past, or finally feel like yourself again, this is where real change begins.
Why I Do This Work
As a woman, a mom, and a therapist, I know what it's like to look like you've got it together on the outside, while quietly (or not so quietly) unraveling inside.
I've sat with teens who feel overwhelmed by emotions they can't name, and women who are tired of holding everything together for everyone else.
This work matters to me because I've lived the pressure, the guilt, and the quiet question: "Why does this feel so hard?"
I built Steady Within for people who want something more than traditional talk therapy.
My approach blends the depth of therapy with tools that actually shift how you move through life. You'll learn tools that work right now, and build lasting emotional strength for everything that comes next.
My Strategic Approach Helps You:
This is strategic, supportive, and steady work.

The Steady Within Difference
Most therapy focuses on reducing symptoms, then spending months talking about the same problems. That's important, but I go deeper.
Rooted in Regulation
I don't just help you "calm down." I teach you to understand your emotions, name them, and respond in ways that align with who you want to be.
Beyond Coping
We move past survival mode. You'll learn tools that help you feel empowered, not just functional.
Real-Life Ready
Whether it's obsessing over an embarrassing moment, the dread before a hard conversation, or the stress of trying to parent through chaos, everything I teach is designed to work in real moments, not just on the therapy couch.
Backed by Science, Rooted in Real Life
I use evidence-based approaches like DBT and ACT, paired with deep compassion and lived experience as a therapist, mom, and human.
Because when you change the way you process emotions, when you change how you think about your thoughts, your entire life changes. You'll feel better and be able to do more than you ever thought possible.
What It Feels Like When You're Steady Within
When you become steady within, everything changes:
You feel in control again
That spiraling sensation? The panic? It stops running your day. You'll learn to ride the wave, not get pulled under.
You build emotional strength
You stop fearing emotions like sadness, anger, or anxiety. You get the skills to handle them and the self-trust to know you can.
You communicate more clearly
Whether you're a teen trying to make sense of your world or a mom navigating constant demands, therapy helps you slow down and say what matters.
Your relationships improve
You stop reacting from stress and start responding from steadiness, creating more calm and connection in your home and life.
Whether you're a teen struggling to make sense of big emotions, a young adult figuring out what comes next, or a woman feeling buried under anxiety, pressure, or self-doubt, therapy here isn't about "coping" better.
It's about learning how to feel in control of your emotional life, even when the world around you isn't.
